YES! Ivanka Trump will Soon be Serving as an Official (and Unpaid) White House Employee

“Special Assistant to the President”

If you’re like us, you couldn’t be more excited to hear that Ivanka Trump will soon take a formal (and unpaid) White House position next to her father. The title? “Special Assistant to the President.” Perfectly fitting, if I do say so myself.

WASHINGTON — Presidential daughter Ivanka Trump said Wednesday she will take a formal White House position without pay but will be subjected to federal ethics rules.

“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.

Her official title will be assistant to the president; her husband, Jared Kushner, has the title of senior adviser, and also does not get paid.

In her statement, Ivanka Trump said that “throughout this process I have been working closely and in good faith with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role.”

The White House put out a statement saying it is pleased that Ms. Trump has decided “to take this step in her unprecedented role as First Daughter and in support of the President.”

It added: “Ivanka’s service as an unpaid employee furthers our commitment to ethics, transparency, and compliance and affords her increased opportunities to lead initiatives driving real policy benefits for the American public that would not have been available to her previously.”
